Mount Vesuvius is seen in the distance beyond a natural quarry which is known to have been used as a toxic waste dumping ground by Camorra organizations who illegally dispose of waste from Northern Italian industrial companies. Once the waste is dumped, it is quickly absorbed into the ground water and irrigation canals in the region. Health issues are on the rise amongst the population including cancer, hormonal imbalances, and tumors.
